Letters

This letter is in response to U.S. Rep. Mick Mulvaney’s column, “Shutdown is really a slowdown,” in the Oct. 16 edition of The Lancaster News. You’re still pointing fingers and blaming President Barack Obama when there are always two sides to everything. The blame belongs to the tea party Republicans who are really trying to take over the Republican Party. Where division is there confusion lives.

We would like to thank everyone who supported the recent chicken and rice sale at the Camp Creek Volunteer Fire Department.
You are what keeps us going everyday. We would also like to extend a special thanks to the following: The Meat Center, Tammy and her staff at Elmo’s Restaurant, Camp Creek Store and a really special thanks to Toby Roberts for coming and helping on his own time. We also appreciate Marvin and Judy Starnes and all the volunteers and their families for the hours of hard work they put in to make this a success.

U.S. Rep. Mulvaney’s guest column, “Shutdown really a ‘slowdown,’” in the Oct. 16 edition of The Lancaster News, explains very well what Republicans are trying to do, which is give the middle class the same relief that President Barack Obama is giving Congress, himself and government staffers, as well as his business buddies and insurance companies. This is a $2.9 trillion anti-seniors takeover scam that alone adds $1 trillion to the debt.

What has our country come to? Federal shutdowns are happening too often. Our soldiers should always get their benefits.
They put their lives at risk to protect our country. Their families should not be denied death benefits. This is outrageous.
The elderly and disabled should not have to worry if we will get our checks or not.
Congress and the president were elected to run this country. And that’s what they should do. We – the citizens – expect you to do your job. If not, then you should not be in office.
